Embroidered Robes

Three years ago, Qin Zhi was "rejected" by her childhood sweetheart. They parted ways, one heading west to Chang'an and the other north.

Three years later, Qin Zhi arrived in Chang'an for the first time and ran into her childhood sweetheart, who now held a high position. He kept trying to win her over with one "meow" after another. She thought he was sick, and seriously so.

One day, Cui Xun fought a fierce battle with the enemy. After winning, he returned, clutching his chest and frowning as he asked, "Why have you done this to me?"

Qin Zhi, who had no idea what he meant, felt her heart tighten. Had he mistaken her for a spy? She asked timidly, "What have I done?"

Cui Xun's frown eased. "You've made me fall so deeply for you."

Qin Zhi fought the urge to draw her sword and replied, "I think you're sick."

Cui Xun answered, "Indeed. I have lovesickness."

Qin Zhi cursed under her breath: ...So he really is sick!

And seriously so.

One day, when a court historian was writing the history of Prince Yu, the officials whispered among themselves about how to describe the prince's consort.

In the end, the historian nervously put down a line:

A descendant of the disgraced Ming family, who entered the palace through Prince Yu's favor.

But the Prince Yu household rejected it, adding this correction:

The clever Miss Ming was the one who won His Majesty's favor for Prince Yu.

Female Lead's Story: Ming Xiu was born under a lucky star, but her luck wasn't very good.

Born into a powerful family, she hadn't even turned one when disaster struck her household. She became the youngest palace maid in the inner palace, and perhaps in the entire imperial palace.

After weathering countless hardships and growing up, all she wanted was to do something.

Our ancestors made the Ming family flourish for a hundred years. She could do it too, and do it even better.

She also had a secret she couldn't tell anyone: When would that handsome-eyed prince go from being the bodhisattva of thousands of palace servants to belonging to her alone?

Male Lead's Story:

Zhao Ying: Before she fell for me, all she thought about was building her career.

After she fell for me...

She built my career too.

Honestly, what's so bad about having a little ambition? When she's done scheming, I'll be there to catch her.

#For those gentle eyes of his, I'd turn back from the brink.#

#She'd rather be called Lord Ming than Prince Yu's consort.#

Reading Guide: ① A strong female lead striving to succeed, with plenty of schemes
